Springtime activities for seniors in assisted living:

After being indoors all winter, the signs of spring are a welcome sight! There is nothing like the feel of the warm spring sunshine on your skin, and the fresh, fragrant scents of spring blossoms. It’s a rejuvenating time of year, no matter what your age. Here are some fun ideas for things to do so you can enjoy spring to the fullest. Vancouver Washington assisted living

Have a picnic. Many local parks are set up so that seniors can easily access them, and lots of them are even wheelchair accessible. Pick a warm day and spend some time out in nature.

Visit a Farmers’ Market. What could be better (and healthier) than fresh fruits, vegetable, local arts and entertainment all in the beautiful outdoors? You can meet interesting people and whet your appetite in a lovely afternoon at the Farmers’ Market.

Do some spring cleaning. The season inspires us to wash some windows to let the sun in. It’s easier to notice our clutter in the spring, and it’s easier to let it go. . .

Get a bird feeder and enjoy spring bird watching.

Plant an herb garden or some flower seeds and watch them grow. Watering and weeding will get you outside regularly, and soon you will have tasty ingredients to add to your cooking.

Eat outside at a restaurant. Many restaurants offer outdoor seating for a special dining experience.

This is just a small sampling of all the things you can do this spring. Maybe these ideas will get you thinking about the other things you enjoy doing as the weather warms up. Fishing? Barbecuing? Watching sports? What joys will your spring hold?
